While I’m working, listening to @Bram and Adam Swick. :) EPISODE SUMMARY Bram Kanstein and Adam Swick discuss how Bitcoin turns raw energy into engineered truth. They cover Adam’s jump from high finance to Bitcoin mining. Swick reveals why proof of work and interruptible load rewires the power grid, not just finance. They break down Bitcoin mining as the buyer of last resort for stranded energy, like filling every empty airline seat. AI data centers enter as a rival with different rules: uptime, fiber, and capex.

You would be feeling incredible.” -Jeff Booth This episode was recorded on the 23th of January. Youtube Video Description: Bitcoin just crashed 30% - and Jeff Booth says he's never felt better. Gold hit $5,000. Bitcoin dropped below $70K. Everyone is panicking.

7 Law Of Attraction Tips To Manifest More

Use these 7 law of attraction tips to manifest more of what you want https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/7-law-of-attraction-tips/

Life Power Tip Replace disempowering thoughts with a power statement. You will not get rid of negative thoughts by focusing on getting rid of negative thoughts! When I say, “Think of a pink elephant” and then say, “Do not think of a pink elephant”, what do you see? However, when I say, “Think of a purple unicorn” then where is the pink elephant in that instance? Your mind will not hold two thoughts simultaneously so replace the thoughts that you do not want. Action Watch an uplifting, inspiring movie. Challenge Smile and be friendly all day. Quote View life as a series of movie frames, the ending and meaning may not be apparent until the very end of the movie, and yet, each of the hundreds of individual frames has meaning within the context of the whole movie. View your life from your funeral, looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn’t? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what you wouldn’t? -Victor Frankl Clearing Reorganise and clean up any office area noticeboards. Question What is your typical behaviour to unexpected situations? Affirmation I choose to always improve on a situation. Uplifting Extra Are you aware that your own mind is quietly planting new beliefs, emotions and habits? Some could ultimately poison your relationship with abundance and success. Here is an ingenious way to help you reverse this unintentional self-sabotage by simply answering these 8 easy questions in under 30 seconds (it’s free). (Link is below)

Listening to @Jeff Booth while I’m working. :) Video Description from Youtube: In this profound episode, Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow and Founding Partner at Ego Death Capital, joins Brandon to discuss the psychological and economic shift required to live on a Bitcoin standard. Jeff challenges the very foundation of our economic reality, explaining why deflation is the natural state of the free market and why the current inflationary system is a "matrix" designed to steal your time. In this episode, we cover: The "Natural State" of Markets: Why prices should fall to the marginal cost of production, and why they don't in a fiat world. The Jeff Booth AI Agent: Jeff reveals he launched an AI version of himself on Twitter/X to handle the "chaos," while he moves his real time to Nostr and high-value relationships. Escaping the Matrix: Why waking up to the truth of the system feels like a betrayal of your past self—and why most people refuse to do it. Ego Death: Why you must kill your ego to see the truth, and how this philosophy drives his venture capital firm. Value vs. Rent-Seeking: The difference between extracting value (fiat mindset) and creating value (Bitcoin mindset). The "Climate" Question: Jeff revisits the energy chapter of his book and admits where his thinking has evolved (and got more "tinfoil hat"). This is not just a conversation about money; it is a conversation about truth, responsibility, and the meaning of a life well-lived.

Life Power Tip Sometimes we cannot see the wood for the trees. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere to visibly record your accomplishments, large or small (in your perception). It is a terrific reference for those days you feel unmotivated or a little lost about what you say that you are actually setting out to achieve. Such a list will support you staying in action on a consistent and long-term basis. Action Walk through a city garden or local nature spot. Challenge Slow down your pace and really connect with people. Quote Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. -William Blake Clearing Remove the programs on your computer that you never use.

#277 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web There’s something magical that happens when you experience truly profound artwork. I’m talking about the kind of artistic masterpiece that makes you feel an upswell of emotion, gain an epiphany, or even contemplate society. The resulting sensation could be evoked from the masterful brushwork on a painting, the lifelike beauty of a sculpture, a heartstring-pulling piece of music or even a poem that gives you goosebumps. If you could sum up that experience in one word, you might call it …inspiration! (Link is below)

Something magical happens, our brains react when we experience truly profound artwork. https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/our-brains-react/

Life Power Tip Your state of “being” is something that you choose. Whether I choose to ‘be anxious’ during the next hour or whether I choose ‘being at ease’ for the next hour, changes my perception of what occurs in that hour and shifts how I respond to circumstances, ultimately changing outcomes and my future. When I choose to operate on automatic and merely ‘react’ to what happens in that hour, then that too will produce a particular result. Action Walk barefoot on grass. Challenge Setting time limits for tasks is a great way to increase efficiency. Quote Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. -M. Scott Peck Clearing Remove some more clutter; your flow of energy is stifled by clutter. Question What is your response to fear and could you change that? Affirmation I choose complete confidence, trust, and belief. Uplifting Extra What would you do with an extra day in your week, extra weeks in your year? I know how I would use that time, doing the things I love doing! If you save 10 minutes here, 20 minutes there and 30 minutes someplace else, you’ve found an entire extra hour to spend however you wish. Those extra minutes and hours add up quickly when you know the right time-saving tips and tools. Before you know it, those extra hours will easily add up to days and even weeks of extra time in your life. (Link is below)
